My scenario: I'm on Verizon DSL using a Westell DSL modem which is configured in 'bridge' mode Behind that is a Linksys WRT54G which is getting a dynamically assigned IP address from Verizon Behind the Linksys is my home LAN I want to have ssh access to my Linux box from the outside I went to dyndns and set up an account, and that seems to be working If I ping the address I gave myself, it resolves to the correct IP address which is the dynamic IP assigned to my Linksys router. I discovered the ddns feature in the Linksys configuration and set that up - it successfully contacted dyndns and dynamically updated my correct IP address. Now, I'm stuck. How to get that last hop from my Linksys to my machine inside? Presumably, there's some setting in the Linksys to allow SSH, and then, I have to somehow route requests for SSH to my local machine. Can someone help me on this? I noticed when setting up my host in dyndns that there was a wildcard setting, so I could set up a host, say 'claudejones.dyndns.org' and then, if wildcars were allowed, then 'computer1.claudejones.dns.org' could be resolved. Is this part of the puzzle? Do I use my computer name in front of the host name I set up, and allow wildcards in the dyndns configuration? Or is this all wrong? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
You are going to have to forward a port (say port 22) to port 22 on the machine you'd like to login in to. You may want to _not_ use port 22 on the router if you have a choice. -- Fedora Core 6 and proud -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
